A humorous take on the author's sentiments for 'Oyaji' (Old men) in Yaoi.

*Note: It was released as a stand alone in 1993 by Biblos, and ran in BexBoy Magazine. When Suguro moved to publisher Taiyou Tosho in 1999, she continued the story in their Craft line, and closed it up as part of the second Aka no Washupiel in 2000.*

*Touhou Kourindou: Curiosities of Lotus Asia* is a series of side stories that complement the normal Touhou timeline. Written by ZUN and illustrated by Genji Asai, each story takes up four pages; one full-page artwork, three of mostly text. When serialized in the Colorful PUREGIRL, each story required two months to complete (on average). The stories themselves are serialized in various magazines, now serialized in Dengeki Moeoh. It's written from the point of view of Rinnosuke Morichika, proprietor of Kourindou, a little odds-and-ends store. Naturally, he has a lot of well-known "customers" in the store, especially Reimu Hakurei and Marisa Kirisame. (Source: Touhou Wiki) *Note: In 2015 this series was restarted in the pages of Strange Creators of Outer World, an official Touhou Project magazine published by Kadokawa under its Dengeki Moeoh imprint with the full supervision and support of ZUN. These stories have yet to be compiled in hardcover format.*

After being devastated in the third World War (known as The Third Division), Japan was divided in two. Several years after the end of the war, a crime organization called Vischio has taken control of the destroyed city of Toshima (formerly Tokyo, Japan's capital city), where they are holding a battle game known as "Igura". The game's main character, a young man named Akira, is falsely accused of a crime. Once arrested, a mysterious woman appears before him, offering him freedom if he agrees to participate in Igura and defeat Igura's strongest man: the king, or "Il-re". The story follows Akira's life in the harsh, lawless Toshima as he fights both to survive and to unravel the mysteries developing around him. (Source: Wikipedia)

Four teenage boys are struck by lightning and live. A strange girl named Shuri comes to the boys. She tells them a parallel gate has opened and demons and monsters will enter into our world.

Meet Ogata Kohsaku, your average hot-and-cocky het boy, who falls head over heels in love (as he's prone to doing), except this time the object of his affection happens to be MALE. Enter Takasugi Yoichiroh, who (yaoi manga being what it is) of course reciprocates Ogata's feelings. All would be happy and fuzzy and resolved in one chapter, except for the fact that Takasugi isn't any more eager to be on bottom than Ogata is. Far from it! In fact he has everything in mind for Ogata that Ogata had planned for him... And that scares the bejeezus out of our mostly-hetero hero.

Set in New York in the late 1980s, Partners follows the lives of six close friends who also happen to be leathermen. The manga depicts their relationships -- both sexual and emotional -- with unabashed honesty. While the story practically explodes off the page with a continuous, unremitting and glorious parade of smut, it isn't "meaningless sex" -- these are committed couples in full-time relationships, where pleasure and pain are natural expressions of affection for one another. (You guessed it; that's where the manga's name comes from. They're "partners.") The six friends that star in this manga are split up into three pairs. The main pair consists of Marlon and Doug, around whose relationship the manga revolves. Marlon, a high-flying executive, plays sub and devoted masochist to the beautifully dominant Doug. Doug is, interestingly enough, a janitor at the very company Marlon directs; during the average workday, they barely even make eye-contact. The contrast between their private and public lives is as stark as it is lovely. The other couples also feature in major roles, and what we end up with is an intimate and moving glimpse at an otherwise unconventional lifestyle. (Source: The Pink Panzer)
